Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consider spine surgery?
Spine surgery is typically considered after conservative treatments (physical therapy, injections, medication) have failed for 3-6 months, or when neurological symptoms are present.
How long is recovery from spine surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. Minimally invasive spine surgery may allow return to work in 2-4 weeks. Open spinal fusion typically requires 3-6 months for full recovery.
